J n, weer prooi'. tire, especially so ier es the 'treed is crueerneri, enfi one which wii prrr Yvent sii on Wet pefreinents and in the muri' i send, und one possessing other meeimiiicnily retirer-,tive quuiities to :ippfuir 'from s. further reading of the follow specification,

@n the sheet oi' riruuings, accompanying s part ci this specification, Figure Ii ii, ,r trnnsverse section of my tire; Fig. 2 is n fragment-ei iongitudinsi View,

ri i from that materiel known as Wire fabricnce, or such, other ino constructed for this` iinfs of which are or may 112. uit in sections-longitudinei sections superimposeri so that ,the rings oi one section wiii stngger the rings of another section, so that the longitudinal rings over lapping the cross rings Will give, nndlthus .forni e resilient tire of the type named. After this building is compiete, there ,is what 'will he known in the trede as a' treed, which when Worn can Vhe repisced, end these treeris een be purchased independent of the tires.

Now referring in detail to the drawing to describe the invention, 3 designates the inner ir-ings, with the longitudinal rings 1i, substantially equidistently disposed about the. formation, and, whether or not et this juncture the' rings are Welded is immaterial, Jor the final product will he Welded in place. Upon this central core is mounted another similar construction, only larger in diameter, consisting ci the cross rings 5, sind the 1ongitudinei rings 5, both the rings 5 and rings 5 staggering between the rings 3 end rings then cornes the next construction, consistany suitehie manner,

ing of the rings 7 sufi rings 8, sind then the rings 9 end rings i0, all stenggeredljf reinted, und then e final construction of rings il and rings 12. @t course this huiiding can he carried out further, ii desired, New by the staggering of the layers so that the cross rings and iongitudinelA rings do not ley piled on one another, in the sense that they are under one another, there is created 'that there is provided e practical and eiicient lire capable of cheap manufacture and which will heduralile und give in one tire many or" the qualities to gein which now re Guire special :appliances on other tires.

Then the structure is built, the longitudinei .rings and cross rings may be Welded electrically, and thus held in. place, relatively to prevent slipping and thus increase the efficiency of the device.

Having thus rlescrihed this invention, 1 chum:

l. A; tire consisting of superimposed leyers of longitudinal and; transverse rings, the longitudinal and transverse rings of one layer being staggered with respect to the iongitudinal and transverse rings of other ieyers, to create resilience, end meansl to hold the tire in place on. the Wheel.

2. A. tire consisting of superimposed layers of longitudinal 'enrl trensverse rings, the longitudinal and transverse rings of one layer being staggered' with respect to the ,longitudinal and transverse rings of otherleyers, to create resilience ineens to hold the tire in place on the Wheel and e metallic tread for seid tire,
